But the character movement isn't perfect, Sonic feels far too sluggish when he's not boosting. It was so much fun perfecting those levels. Sonic Unleashed's daytime stages have amazing level design and the best S ranking the series has ever seen. The closest is probably SA 2 but it still has the shitty friends gameplay that is at best tolerable and at worst a slog. The 3D Sonic games are fucked up because many of them get different crucial elements right but there's never been a game to truly put it all together. I am pretty shocked that SEGA are not greenlighting an Original Sonic Mania sequel (another stupid decison when they have finally got a great selling Sonic game that is still selling thanks to a physical presence, youtube series and merch! I bought an Amy T-Shirt and Coin to support this).ģD Sonic needs to stick to one thing and improve on it, regardless of critisisms of mechanics, because a mechanic can be improved over time (although Forces kind of went backwards from Generations).

I personally think It needs to stick to great platforming without too many frustrating pitfalls, an interesting Level Design Structure (I like Colours and Lost World because of this, less Cities as it doesn't really fit his aesthetic) and a preference to a more lighthearted approach to the story. I love Sonic but some of the decisions make the games frustrating to play, and I do blame Ilzuka and the other directors thinking we 'need' Sonic to keep changing. The Franchise itself is a goldmine as it compliments the merchandise side of Mario and Pokemon that well, but the games are what keeps your fanbase on side (at least the older generation). Robotnik decides to dispose of Sonic using his technology, however his plans have a nasty habit of failing.The gaming fanbase needs to shrink for SEGA to get a wake up call and start threatening Sonic Team to stick to one formula and get good at it. Meanwhile, in the Ancient Palace Coliseum, Dr. Together, the four try to reach the city where Metal Sonic hid, via the Ancient Palace. Certain that it was Sonic who was responsible for the theft of the Master Emerald, a fight breaks out, which is ended when Sonic is finally able to explain what really happened. Sonic and Tails make their way across this new land, via the Ancient Palace Zone, and are eventually met by Knuckles and Mighty the Armadillo. During the chase, their fuel runs out and they are forced to land in a new place, known as Green Island. Due to the loss of the Master Emerald, Angel Island falls to the ocean, as Sonic and Tails pursue the escaping robot on the Tornado.

The plan succeeds, with Metal Sonic stealing the emerald so imperceptibly that Knuckles only notices that the thief looked like Sonic.

Robotnik sends Metal Sonic to steal the Master Emerald for his new plan. Several versions of the story were drafted, before the author finally decided on a structure similar to that of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
